CAMDEN,s VIEWS.
President Cleveland Will be
Re.NOminated and Re.
Elected.

WASHINGTON, d. c., Sept. s.
''There must be something done
with the tariff this coming session
of Congress-" said ex-senator Cam
den of West Virginia, to-day. at
is hard to say just what it will be-
but it must be in the way of re-
duction. There may be compro-
mise by which both internal revenue
and custom duties will be reduced
Something must be done. To abol-
ish the internal revenue system
would not meet with the demands OF
the country. The prevailing senti-
ment is against it. There are vari-
ances in both parties between the
people and their political leaders, -
Speaking of the present condition
of the democratic party he said that
it was universally conceded that
Cleveland would be re-nominated
and there was, therefore, none of the
usual rivalry of the friends of other
candidates. They had but to sit
down in good spirits and in perfect
harmony and wait.
"There is a general confidence in
Cleveland" he continued, -''that
makes him strong and secures the
party with certain exceptions. He
is going to stick constantly by his
civil service views, / think. He
sticks to civil service much closer
than / should do, but his course has
give the whole country confidence
in him and it is fortunate for the
party that he is the man he is. The
people have confidence in him and
whether they are republicans or dem
ocrats, whether they care anything
for him or not, will say that he is
doing the right thing; let him stay.
Had man been elected who would
have done as some Of our best men
would have it, and turned the Gov
eminent upside down, making mis-
takes and rushing ahead the party
would surely not have had chance
of holding power long. Cleveland is
very able man. Blaine, beyond a
doubt, will be the republican nomi-
nee.o
He further said that the election
Of the President was narrowed down
to matter of carrying New York,
and he was asked how he thought
the democrats were situated in that
State.
"We are certainly as well off as
the republicans" he replied. There
are elements there that no one can
count on, but think they will coun-
terbalance each other and not affect
the chances Of the two great parties.
J. don't think Blaine can get as
many democratic votes as he did
among the Irish Catholics before,
and think, at the same time that
he will lose many republicans who
supported him before. If he should
decide not to take the nomination 1t
will be on account of this considera-
tion. / think Sherman is stronger
in New York than Blaine"

be held TO answer a charge of bigamy.
Long was brakeman on the Par

wooed, won and welded Miss Dill

ago. A short time after the we'd

The system of endorsing, or sure
tyship, has been the financial ruin
Of more men in Morgantown than all
other causes combined.
From the earliest recollection OF
those now living, this community
has been suffering from this cause.
There. are men in our midst who
have b6en struggling all their lives
under burdens of this kind. Men
who, being once crippled financially
through the system of endorsing,
have never been able to entirely
rally, and they and their families
have suffered poverty and embar-
rassment through all their business
careers.
About every score of years we
pass through one of these periods OF
wreck and ruin brought about by
endorsing. A number of prominent
business men of the community have
fourished for time on the credit of
their friends and endorsers, gone be-
You'd their means, become reckless
and extravaganza with other peoples
money until, at last, the crash came,
the sureties are called upon to pay,
and the effect runs through all the
ramifications Of our business, Grip
ping some, bankrupting others, and
requiring years for the community
to recover from the calamity
In fact, we are never quite free
from the effects of such calamities
What citizen cannot recall or has
not personally felt the effect of this
system? 1t is unnecessary to be
more specific than to cite the general
fact.
We affirm that this system OF
suretyship is all wrong, unjust, in
equitable, disastrous, and should be
utterly abolished.
What responsibility does one as
sumo when he endorses a note?
Simply this: He is held for the pay
ment of the amount in full, princi-
pal and interest, if the maker OF the
note, through misfortune, misman-
agement or rascality, fails to pay.
The indorser assumes all this re-
sponsibility, with no voice in the
management Of the business and no

We regret to note the suspension
of the Grafton Standard Enterprise.
Its embarrassment was caused by
its fire losses and the failure of it's
patrons to pay their subscriptions.
This last trouble is, a great draw
back to nearly all county papers.
A great many subscribers either
don't have consideration enough to
keep their subscriptions paid up
promptly, OF they don't care anything
about it.

The oldest inhabitant is now call
ed upon to analyze this ''spell of
weather." and give us his opinion
as to whether it is not the very dry
est ON record.
The rainfall of the last thirty days
has certainly been the minimum.
The earth is dry as powder. The
grass is growing in the bed of the
streams. The foliage is growing
brown and withered. The wells are
failing, and water is everywhere be
coming scarce.
Fortunately the crops have all
been gathered, with the exception Of
the corn, and the corn has so far
matured that, although somewhat
dwarfed, the crop cannot be said to
be a failure.
The one consideration of greatest
Importance now is the health of the
people. 1t is important that every
body should give special care to his
diet and to the water he drinks. In
many instances the water in the
Town wells is rank poison. 1t is
concentrated filth. 1t is the drain
age from the foulest sources.
Be careful, therefore, Of your
health, which is in constant peril
from this dry weather.

ALL THE NEWS
OF WEST VIRGINIA RECORDED IN
BRIEF SPACE.
Incidents and Accidents and Matters
Miscellaneous.
Aut Scissors AIT Mill.


Some Of the newspaper correspond
ents are reviying that old chestnut
about the Mason county tin mines.
1t won't hurt anyone and if it fur
nishes the boys any amusement we
don't see that it is much difference.
The residence of Mr.. Hess, near
Martins Mill, on Big Bingamon
creek, Marion county, was totally
destroyed by fire last Monday morn
ing during the absence of the family.
The house was in ashes when they
returned home. and everything in it
was of course consumed also. 1t
was one-story frame building, but
we could not get an estimate of it's
value.
Ever since the Holidays Cove
tragedy thousands of persons from
all sections have visited the McWha
house, the scene of the murder, and
some of the visitors have not been
as considerable as they might be with
other peoples property. The execu-
tor, Robert Patterson, has found it
necessary to have placards, "No
Trespassing," placed about the
premises, and the services of
Waterman are required to enforce
the command.
A pension of some 50, 200 has been
granted to Barnabas Ball of York's
Run, Preston County, and $12 per
month, on account of the death of
his two sons, Zacharias and George
Ball who both served in the Federal
army. Zacharias was a member of
Co. E, 18th w. Va. Infantry, enlist
ing under Capt. Hall, who was sue
ceeded by Capt Candy. He partici-
pated in several engagements, and
ON October 10Th, 1864 was killed at
Cedar Creek. The other son was
member Of Co. X, 10Th w. Va. In
fantry, and was taken i'll at Rich
mond, Va, from exposure, and died
Sept. 9th 1866, after removal to his
home The pension is granted upon
thu grounds of dependent support,
as Mr.. and Mrs. Ball are both adj
vanced in years, and have but one
son remaining, who has been married
number Of years and has large
family.
A gang of illicit distillers, led by
James Landers, have been operating
for years in Greenbrier, Pocahontas
and other counties, and every effort
of the United States authorities to
capture them has been futile. A
few days ago John Armistead, a |
farmer Of wealth in that region was
missing, and search being institu-
ted his body was recovered, being
found hidden under lot Of rubbish
in the woods. There was every out
ward indication of murder and sus-
picion at once rested upon Landers.
He was known to have had still on

About the thinnest excuse the
radical papers could make for the
late foolish and unpatriotic capers
of a few of the grand army people

slightest foundation for such lie;
but if there was then they acknowl-
edge they unwittingly fell into his
trap. If he did it for that reason
how is it that they SO readily knew
Of Mr.. Taney,s trick? Only a few
of them attempted to insult the Pres

soldiers who had seen service and
were loyal patriotic men marched

The New York Herald furnishes
a terse text for political thinkers
that should be very generally circu-

worth thinking about. First, when
the republican party came into
power the country had no surplus
of revenue, but it did have an i'm
mense area of public domain. That
was well. Second, when that party
went out of power in 1884 the situa-
ton was exactly reversed-that is,
the country had an immense surplus
of revenue and its public domain
had, to an alarming extent, been
stolen.
